That Could Be You

Album: Blue Highway

That Could Be You
(Wayne Taylor/Forty Watt Music, BMI)

1) For twenty years he made a living in an east Kentucky mine
When friends would ask how things were going He could say he was doing fine
Then, the mine closed down and he ahd to leave that big house up on the ridge
Now he sleeps in a cardboard box underneath the sixth street bridge

Ch) And that could be you
That could be you
But for the grace of God, that could be you

2) She hasn't seen the man who swore he loved her for almost thirteen years
After six long months of crying, she ran out of tears
Now all her pride has been forsaken for dreams that won't come true
She knows minimum wage won't feed her kids so she does what she has to do

Br) Remember all the homeless families, all the battered wives
All the children who go to sleep hungry, night after night

Cause that could be you
that could be you
But for the grace of God, that could be you
